Softball

The Tritons have won seven region titles and took home the NWAC championship in 1980.
Additionally, Edmonds CC has five NWAC top four finishes, the most recent in 2018
(3rd). Softball's home yard, Triton Field, is an on-campus turf facility that is arguably
the best in the NWAC.

Tawney named women's athletic commissioner

New assistant softball coach Traci Tawney has been named Edmonds CC's women's athletic
commissioner, effectively immediately. Tawney steps into the role vacated by former
Triton softball coach Sheryl Gilmore. Tawney played softball four years at the University
of Washington where she received her bachelor's degree in Communications. Tawney also
has her master's degree in Special Education. Before her arrival to Edmonds she was
the head softball coach at Lake Washington High School the past six years, and guided
the Kangaroos to the 2A state championship in 2014. Tawney still assists with University
of Washington softball clinics, and was a volunteer coach for the program in 2003-04.
"Traci's past experiences and values directly align with the NWAC's mission. She will
be a great support to our women student-athletes," said athletic director Spencer
Stark.

Aholelei accepts award at SnoCo Sports HOF

Former Triton softball star Seli Aholelei (Honolulu, Hawaii) accepted her award as
the Snohomish County Sports Commission Female Collegiate Athlete of the Year on September
19 at the Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett, Wash. Aholelei, who is now a junior

the past two years. She finished her Triton career as one of the most decorated in
Triton Athletics history. Aholelei is now the program leader in home runs (34), hits
(147), runs batted in (130), runs scored (139), batting average (.510), pitching wins
(43), strikeouts (334), and no hitters (4).

Edmonds softball tied the school record for wins (35) in 2017, and topped that in
Seli's sophomore year with 42, capturing the school's first North Region crown since
2004. She was a NFCA NWAC All-American both years at Edmonds, and was the 2018 NWAC
North Region Pitcher of the Week.

NWAC Softball title decided today

SPOKANE -- Edmonds' softball comeback fell short against No. 1 ranked North Idaho
and if the Tritons are going to win the school's first NWAC championship since 1980,
they are going to have to do it the hard way. A 7-5 setback against North Idaho in
the late game Sunday dropped the Tritons into the losers' bracket. Edmonds needs to
win three straight on Monday, starting with an 11 a.m. game against Lower Columbia
(41-13). The Tritons beat LCC 17-10 earlier in the tournament. The winner advances
to the championship round and must beat North Idaho (49-3) twice to secure the title.
